Customer Comments: Just a screen
Our Comments: Here are examples of several types of screens you can use to replace your old rollup screen. Sliding mesh curtains with a bottom bar are a popular choice as the bottmo bar will help prevent ashes and logs from rolling out of the fireplace onto the floor. In order to have a free standing screen flat against the fireplace, you must remove the rear feet and the screen will not stand on its own when you set it aside to tend the fire, whereas the bowed screen will. Glass doors as will allow you to close the glass as the fire dies out to cold air out and prevent smoke from coming into the home. The single mesh door is convenient since it does not need to be set aside when tending the fire. It can also be made as a cabinet door, but the single panel door has less obstruction for fireviwing.
Important Note: If that is a real wood floor, you are required by code to have a non-combustible hearth.
Fireplace Opening: Unknown
Before:
Mesh curtains are a very traditional fireplace treatment that is both functional and convenient to use. You can have them made with just the top bar, top and bottom bar, or a full framed screen. The bottom bar and fully framed versions help prevent logs and ashes from rolling out of the fireplace onto the floor.
Option #1: Mesh Curtains with Top and Bottom Bar in Black.
Option #2: Mesh Curtains with 4-Sided Frame in Black.
Option #3: Hearth Creations Single Panel Fireplace Screen in Black.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Single Panel Bowed Fireplace Screen in Black.
Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle relatively high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is not as heavy duty and rugged as steel or wrought iron, but it is the most affordable.
Option #5: Design Specialties Aluminum Brookfield Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Clear Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron with a single heavy duty wire mesh door. This can also be made with two full framed cabinet doors.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Pacifico Single Fireplace Mesh Door in Burnished Natural Iron (or Black).

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need gate mesh backup doors or mesh curtains behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
